Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

HT4914 Will I cloud delete music that's stored on my iPod but not in my iTunes?

So I have a bunch of music on my iPod. My laptop with my original iTunes crashed and died. So new laptop new iTunes. All of this music on my iPod and I don't want to lose it if I update or use iCloud. So my question is: will iCloud reformat my iPod, deleting any music that's not available in my iTunes account?

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone but not in my itunes?

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

Hi jpere041,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

I have duplicate songs on my ipod but not in my itunes

whenever I put +¿Dónde Están Corazón?+ by Enrique Iglesias; album 95/98 onto my ipod everything is okay UNTIL i add all the other songs from Enrique Iglesias; album Insomniac onto my ipod.
I changed the 95/98 album to Insomniac so that they are in the same album. When I turn on my ipod and go to Music > Cover Flow, there are duplicates of the music!
But when I go into itunes and click on View > Show Duplicates, nothing shows up!
I have bought +¿Dónde Están Corazón?+ on itunes and the other songs i uploaded from my CD.
Thats the only place the duplicates of music show up, at Cover Flow although the ipod doesnt play the same songs twice. =/

Connect your iPod to your computer and a dialogue box should come up asking if you want to transfer your purchases. If a box doesn't come up, click the iPod in the iTunes sidebar and there should be a button somewhere on the summary page to transfer purchases.
If you're in the US, you can also redownload your music buy logging into the iTunes store in iTunes, and clicking "purchased" on the right hand side of the store.

Mysterious games appeared on my iPod, but not on my iTunes.

After syncing my daughter's iPod Classic the other day there were 3 mysterious games (iQuiz, Klondike and Vortex) that appeared under Extras, Games. We have never downloaded any games on her iPod. iQuiz indicated that it had been played once, but she had never clicked on it. There was one time when I plugged it into my mac to sync and there was a problem with her iPod. I think it said it had been coorupted, but I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it worked. Do we have a virus on the iPod? What do we do?
My daughter is freaking out over this....
Teresia

On the iPod classic page, it states:
http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/features.html
Play iPod games.
Blast through bricks and power up. Put your trivia skills to the test. Stack the cards in an old favorite. iPod classic comes with three games — Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike. Designed specifically for the Click Wheel interface, they put hours of fun at your fingertips.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
Backing up your media in iTunes.
Please excuse the sermon, but we see far too many people lose their music because of no back up.

Songs on Ipod but not in itunes - ???

I have a 4th gen 20gb ipod. I have some podcasts on my ipod, but not on my itunes. I'm running out of memory and i don't want them!! I can't see how to delete them off if they aren't on itunes.
Aslso i have marked some songs as to not show on my ipod (marked in itunes), but they are still there on my ipod. Songs are mostly duplicates.
However i can put new songs onto my ipod easily as doing up my shoes.
Any ideas people? It would be greatly appreciated.

FOLDERS ARE MISSING-on ipod but not on i-tunes any advice?

HI I have been trying to get my ipod updated and it seems as though my folders are missing on my ipod but not on my itunes.
I was using itunes 4.7 with my 4 button ipod(not sure the generation maybe 3rd) and I just updated to itunes 7 hoping to fix the problem. I am still getting the same error message that says my ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Elena

I am still getting the same error message that says my ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist.
while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the sourcelist, click on the "Music" tab.
you will currently have "Selected playlists" selected. go through the list of playlists beneath that, comparing them with the playlists that appear in your itunes sourcelist. uncheck any that no longer appear in the itunes sourcelist. check the playlists that you do want to sync to the ipod. click apply.

My computer crashed with all my itunes files. I was able to get some off and transfer them to another computer. I am afraid to sync my ipod to the new computer becaused I do not want to loose all of my playlists and other music. Will this happen?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

Deleting songs on iPod but not on iTunes

thanks in advance to any reply!!!!
originally, i have an iPod Photo 40gb. a few days ago, i bought an iPod Video 60gb. i use one computer, with one user.
i actually have two problems. i hope nothing gets too confusing!!
PROBLEM #1: in the days of my iPod Photo, i had a somewhat frustrating situation. i accidently (long story) deleted all my music files. this left me with songs on iTunes, and on my iPod but not on the computer. i was worried that my iPod would wipe out when i plugged it in, but i found the solution thanks to helpful apple.com! i didnt have to get my original music files back because the songs stayed on my iPod. though there was always an exclamation mark next to the song on iTunes. this meant i couldnt play the song on iTunes because there was no backup file, but i could listen to it on my iPod.
i plugged my new iPod into the same computer onto the same iTunes program. it's uploaded all the songs except the ones with exclamation marks. is there anyway i can get these songs (a total of 192) onto the iPod Video??
PROBLEM #2: i'd like to delete all the songs on the old iPod. Except i dont know how to do this without deleting all the songs on iTunes. i can't delete the songs on iTunes because i still need them for my new iPod. Is there anyway i can delete the songs on the iPod but keep them on iTunes for the new iPod? One last thing, if i manage to find the solution to emptying the old iPod, is it possible to upload it with new songs?? songs that i dont want on my new iPod. or am i asking for too much?
THANKS!!!

You have a couple of options:
1) Change the update option of your old iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists". Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod, you can amend the option there. In manual mode you can delete the songs off the iPod and keep them in iTunes. You can also drag from iTunes the tracks and playlists that you do want: Managing Your Songs Manually
2) You can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would mean you could create a playlist specifically for your old iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

How do i get a song to delete off my ipod but not my itunes?

Ok, well as you can see in the question above i do not want to delete the entire song from my itunes library, but i want it off my itouch. The only thing is i can't seem to get it to stay off of my itouch. I delete it off my ipod but everytime it is plugged into my computer it goes back on to my ipod. please help!?

Hi megan,
You have several options:
1.     Hook your iPod Touch up to your computer in iTunes, and select the device when it appears
2.     Go to the Music Tab for your iPod, and de-select "Entire Music Library", select instead "Selected Playlists, artists, albums, and genres
3.     Then go below that selection button, and check all of the artists, albums, genres that you want. Any that you don't want on your iPod leave unchecked, then sync
The other option is to create smart playlists which automatically include songs which you have designated for that playlist. Then, on that same tab shown above, you would simply select the specific Playlists you want on your iPod, and leave everything else unselected.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement
